To search and not to find is wearisome; 
to search and find is enjoyable. 

The one who appears to have every 
answer at his command is not the one to be 
relied upon so much as the one who finds out 
by diligent research. 

I have compiled this little book with the 
hope that it may prove an aid to the 
teacher, an inspiration to the student, and a 
blessing to those who are too busy to delve 
among musty books and libraries. 

Mary Neely.

Breathes there a man with soul so dead,

From wandering on a foreign strand?

bring upon her, and they will answer by 
striking off all dependence.

* * * * 

The American Republic must live. It 
shall stand towering- sublime, like the last 
mountain in the deluge, while the earth 
rocks at its feet, and the thunders peal above 
its head — majestic, immutable, magnificent. 

Wendell Phillips. 

* * * * 

Let the colors of the army, under which 
the sons of all the States are to meet and 
mingle in common patriotism, speak of noth- 
ing but Union. 

Carl Schurz. 

* * * * 

A star for every State, and a State for 
every star. 

Winthrop. 

* * * * 

There is a higher law than the Constitu- 
tion. 

W. H. Seward. 

* * * * 

God reigns and the Government at Wash- 
ington still lives. 

James A. Garfield. 

38 



Echoes from the Nation 

He serves his party best who serves the 
country best. 

Rutherford B. Hayes. 



Whether in chains or in laurels, Liberty 
knows nothing but victories. 

Wendell Phillips. 



Our Country! In her intercourse with 
foreign nations may she ever be in the right ; 
but our country, right or wrong. 

Stephen Decatur. 



The fairest vision on which these eyes 
ever rested was the flag of my country in a 
foreign port. 

Beauitful as a flower to those who love 
it, terrible as a meteor to those who hate, 
it is the symbol of the power and the glory 
and the honor of fifty millions of Americans. 

George F. Hoar. 

* * * * 

The first thing a man owes to his country 
is the integrity of his own life. 

David J. Brewer. 

* * * * 

I would rather be beaten in the right 
than succeed in the wrong. 

James A. Garfield. 

39 



Echoes from the Nation 

I am not bound to win, but I am bound 
to be true ; I am not bound to succeed, but I 
am bound to live up to what light I have. 
I must stand with anybody that stands 
right; stand with him while he is right and 
part with him when he goes wrong. 

Abraham Lincoln. 

* * * * 

He was a foe without hate ; a friend with- 
out treachery ; a soldier without cruelty ; and 
a victim without murmuring. 

He was a public officer without vices; 
a private citizen without wrong; a neigh- 
bor without reproach; a Christian without 
hypocrisy; and a man without guile. 

Hill of Robert E. Lee. 

* * * * 

My fidelity to my constituents is not 
measured by the support they give me. I 
have convictions I would not surrender if 
10,000 majority were against me. 

Wm. McKinley. 

•P »I* *** »I* 

What history will say of him will be 
written in letters of gold. 

Dolliver of McKinley. 

* * * * 

American soldiers never surrender but 
to Americans. 

William McKinley. 

40 



Echoes from the Nation 

Thy will, not ours, be done. 

William McKinley. 
* * * * 

Lord of the universe, shield us and guide us, 
Trusting Thee always thru shadow and sun ; 
Thou hast united us, who shall divide us? 
Keep us, oh, keep us, the Many in One. 

Oliver Wendel Holmes. 



Independence or death! 



Cuban Cry. 



^ •I' '•" **» 

Remember the Maine! 

Slogan of Americans in Cuban War. 

* * * * 

I would rather lose my ship at sea, like 
a sailor, than in a harbor. 

It was the only thing for me to do. 

Admiral Cervera. 

* * * * 

I only believe in one race, mankind. 
From the wild, tawny Indian to the refined, 
blonde Englishman, a man for me is worthy 
of respect according to his honesty and feel- 
ings, no matter to what country or race he 
belongs or what religion he professes. So 
are nations for me. 

Maximo Gomez. 

41 



Echoes from the Nation 

In the name of humanity, in the name of 
civilization, in behalf of endangered interests 
which give us the right and the duty to 
speak and to act, the war in Cuba must stop. 

Grover Cleveland. 



A great cause has triumphed. Every 
Democrat, every true progressive of what- 
ever alliance, must now lend his full force 
and enthusiasm to the fulfillment of the peo- 
ple's hope, the establishment of the people's 
rights so that justice and progress may go 
hand in hand. 

President-elect Wilson. 



Friends, I want to say this about myself. 
I have too many important things to think 
about to pay heed or feel any concern about 
my own death. 

Roosevelt after being shot. 



We, here in America, hold in our hands 
the hope of the world, the fate of the coming 
years; and shame and disgrace will be ours 
if in our eyes the light of high resolve is 
dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden 
hopes of men. 

Theodore Roosevelt. 

42 



Echoes from the Nation 

Thou, too, sail on, Ship of State! 
Sail on, O Union, strong and great! 
Humanity with all its fears. 
With all the hopes of future years, 
Is hanging breathless on thy fate! 
We know what Master laid thy keel. 
What Workman wrought thy ribs of steel, 
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope, 
What anvils rang, what hammers beat. 
In what a forge and what a heat 
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope! 
Fear not each sudden sound and shock, 
'Tis of the wave and not the rock; 
'Tis but the flapping of the sail. 
And not a rent made by the gale ! 
In spite of rock and tempest's roar. 
In spite of false lights on the shore, 
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea! 
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee. 
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears. 
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears. 
Are all With thee, — are all with thee! 

Henry W. Longfellow. 



The Past has taught its Lesson; the 
Present has its Duty; and the Future its 
Hopes. 

Ridpath.

STAR-SPANGLED BANNER 

Oh, say, can you see. 

By the dawn's early light. 

What so proudly we hailed 

At the twilight's last gleaming? 
Those stripes and bright stars, 
Through the perilous fight, 
O'er the ramparts we watched 

Were so gallantly streaming. 
And the rockets' red glare, 
The bombs bursting in air. 
Gave proof thru the night 
That our flag was still there. 
Oh, say, does the star-spangled banner still 

wave 
O'er the land of the free and the home of the 

brave? 

Francis Scott Kca . 



BATTLE CRY OF THE REPUBLIC. 

Mine eyes have seen the glory 

Of the coming of the Lord, 
He is tramping out the vintage 

Where the grapes of life are stored; 
He hath loosed the fateful lightning 

Of his terrible swift sword. 
His truth is marching on. 

Julia Ward Howe.

MARYLAND 

Thou wilt not cower in the dust, 

Maryland! my Maryland! 
Thy gleaming sword shall never rust,

Remember Carroll's sacred trust. 
Remember Howard's warlike thrust. 
And all thy slumbers with the just, 
Maryland! my Maryland! 

J. R. Randall. 



AMERICA 

My country, ' tis of thee. 
Sweet land of Liberty, 

Of thee I sing;

From every mountain side. 

Let freedom ring. 

Dr. Samuel F. Smith.

COLUMBIA THE GEM OF THE OCEAN 

Columbia, the gem of the ocean, 

The home of the brave and the free, 
The shrine of each patriot's devotion, 

The world offers homage to thee. 
Thy mandates make heroes assemble 

When Liberty's form stands in view ; 
Thy banners make tyranny tremble 

When borne by the red, white and blue. 

David T, Shaw. 



HAIL, COLUMBIA 

Hail, Columbia, happy land, 
Hail, ye heroes, heaven-born band. 
Who fought and bled in freedom's cause ; 
And when the storm of war was gone 
Enjoyed the peace your valor won. 
Let Independence be your boast. 
Ever mindful what it cost. 
Ever grateful for the prize 
Let its altar reach the skies. 

Joseph Hopkinson.
